Where did something borrowed, something blue come from?

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue originated from an old English poem. Something old, something new Something borrowed, something blue And a silver sixpence in her shoe. Each item on the list is supposed to represent a good luck token for the bride.

According to the poem you should have all four. Each item can be blended into your wedding day very easily. From the something old being a borrowed dress or jewelry from a family member.

Your something new could be your shoes or headpiece. Something borrowed could be your veil or purse and something blue could be your garter or ribbon on your flower bouquet. Also, there are many traditions in the world for weddings.

North America has much more flexibility when it comes to traditions for weddings. Wedding gifts is one tradition that we have in North America that some other countries do not do. There is a great website that breaks down traditions from all over the world.
